I am considering the purchase of a 911 s engine on this site to swap for my 1.7. However, I would like to get an idea of the work involved to make this happen. Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers, John |

I ran a 2.7 in so cal. Was pretty easy to put new marks on the early flywheel. In the so cal heat I had to run a front oil cooler. Some people are into slow cars like a 356 or VW. If that’s you then stay with the 4 banger, otherwise a six is the only way to go if your a purist. Hopped up 4 banger will not yield the same power or resale value.
